Stephen Graham JonesGUEST
They're some of our oldest modes of storytelling.
Stephen Graham JonesGUEST
But if I'm going to be honest, I think I love road stories because I cut my teeth on Smoking the Bandit and Cannonball Run.
Stephen Graham JonesGUEST
And there's some bad cars in that, you know? And for me, road stories are just a wonderful excuse to look at trucks and cars and accidents and near accidents and having to pop the hood to fix this and that and having to find a tire.
Stephen Graham JonesGUEST
And that stuff is endlessly fascinating to me.

All I can picture, whatever gutter they dragged her out of, I picture the character who was in Cannonball Run, right? The doctor in the back of the ambulance with Dom DeLuise, right? With the big needle to shoot her up, to get her coherent enough, sober enough to deliver the attack against her daughter.
